Looking to get a new radiator or used I don't care don't wanna spend 300 to 200 like online where could I find a good used one or newish one ? Also on the hunt for I guess a used or new ac compressor though I want used bc why do I wanna spend 300 bucks on a new one in the winter 😕

 

If I'm going to wait a while before I install a new or used compressor how can I just delete the current setup temporarily

Most new a.c. compressors need new type fittings to fit.I had a custom made  new complete heating and  air  installed by a pro. I have all new hoses and fittings.I believe the one at Rock Auto Parts fit but you will  need new different fittings.Give me a minute and I will look up my parts list as see what the part number is.

Yes,Rock Autp parts has the same one as mine.Part number is 58444.Price is 257.79.Here are the hoses that goes on them.If you want the part numbers to them and prices,let me know.These hoses were about 31 bucks each.Best to get new hoses.My original hose busted on my old system and the green dye got on the exhaust manifold and started a little fire.At first I thought,I blew a head gasket cause of the green dye was everywhere and I was stopped at McDonalds drive thru getting a milk shake with the A.C. on.I did find another hose on 720 World site real cheap.I still have the busted hose.Anyone need the fittings from it ,you can have them.

Here is my set up.under the hood.

I have been using Auto Zone's plastic radiator for over 30 years, they have a lifetime warranry.When I got mine over 20 something years ago they were only a little over 100 bucks,I never have to buy another one.I really can't tell you where to get one.They sell aluminum ones on line,but no warranty.I would not buy a used one.Radiator shops have died out.I think Orielly sells Aluminum ones with a lifetime warranty.I would buy them if I didn't have a warranty .Mine fits perfect with my shroud.I have a .c.So I will forever use Auto Zones since I have a warranty.Last one lasted 11 years.I put one in my wife's 2004 Lincoln Ls about 4 years ago.Her stock one was plastic,it leaked at the bottom.They are about 244 at Oriellys.Cheaper there.Also put a Nissan 82C thermostats on it,which is 179.6F.Nissan uses metric numbers in that department.Get it from your local Nissan dealer,free shipping and only takes a day.

Anything you take off has to be put back on.... if you don't lose any of the parts. Just leave it alone, not going anywhere and not doing anything if in OFF position. No one can see if it's there or not at 50 MPH.

One of the few companies making and selling them via retail autoparts, is the Murray @ O'Reilly.  This part is the aluminum radiator, so it says.

Jeff,the one you like is not really for sale.They only have one.A site is showing that one but it is a misprint.433943 is the only one they have.You were tricked.Does NOT Fit 1986 720.What it says on there site?I seen some from people that put it in there 720's.Looks thicker.Not sure if the fan shroud would fit.The picture is not what you get.Similar to what is on Ebay.No Murray.A review on Advance said he had to modify fan shroud.So my AutoZone one is the best.
